Roadmap & changelog

Here’s what the team is up to.

Latest update

Sep 2024

Web analytics launched

After a long and productive beta period, our web analytics product has finally graduated into full release thanks to your feedback, and Robbie's hard work.

Web analytics is basically our version of Google Analytics with a few differences. Those differences include that it can be easily used alongside our other tools, and that it doesn't absolutely suck.

You can use web analytics to get all the general website insights you need, such as the number of real-time visitors or your bounce rate, without needing to collect any personal data.

In other words, it works great with anonymous events.
